I am sorry but what are they supposed to do about it. You are allowed to Scam and Sell Characters.
Did this particular Scam break the EULA?

Actually, character selling scams are not allowed.
Not that I would know anything about scamming.

OP said he and 2 other people were scammed and the perpetrator was selling his Character on the Character Bazaar. Precisely why I asked if this Scam broke the EULA. The OP never made mention to the fact that the scam was in fact related to Character Sales until after I asked.

You would be surprised how many people yell about such things or don't realize Scaming and Character Cycling through the Bazaar is legit.
But yeah Character Selling Scams through the Bazaar are rule breakers.
I hope you get your ISK back. |

That is the problem with forums. So many soundbites and lack of care about their writing (Or is that there writing) that a number of people cannot communicate properly.
I read the original post. It seemed like a reasonable question because when I read it, I saw:
"3 of us has been scammed by a player who currently has a character on the character bazaar"
Was this a scam involving the sale of a character? Is the fact that the player is on the character bazaar of interest? I don't know. The OP did not say enough or explain enough to be clear.
In situations where things are not clear; people ask questions.
I personally think you look like more of an idiot for your flippant one-liner than Alara does. |

Character scams are NOT allowed and we come down very hard on those who try it. The best way to deal with this is to simply report it to us and we will investigate the matter. However, these investigations may take a long time as often the people who scam with character sales are involved in a lot more EULA breaches and they can be RMT or hackers on top of it. When that is te case we must tread very carefully to make sure we get all the loose and that simply takes time. Senior GM Homonoia | Info Group | Senior Game Master |

As I very well mentioned later in the thread when the OP confirmed that the issue was in fact related directly to the Bazaar and not just a Scammer selling selling a character.

Investigate and that can take a long time ?
I understand that he might be a hacker but that does not mean you have to start the investigation there. You see the transactions to buy the characters and the posts, see that the character has been sold multiple times and you resend the isk to the buyers.. Then you start investigating the scammer, because it is quite clear that he is long gone with the isk and sold or what ever he does with it.
Will see how long this takes, can't wait until fanfest for the round table discussion to address this and get some order in this... Not like there aren't any ways that could prevent scamming in character transactions like a npc recieving ISK and notifying the seller that he can start transfer and then mail a code or something to the NPC and recieve the isk instead.
But good that CCP intends to improve the big things like warp graphics and stuff like that which does not nearly affect players as much as this..
This scamming business seems like a good way to get a quick buck with little as no response until 3 days later when 2 more have been scammed.
I do fully realise that I am mostly to blame for attempting a deal to good to be true but that would not happen without scammers which obviously are getting a profit from this otherwise they would not be doing it.
Sorry had to vent a little steam. |

There MUST BE A DEFINITIVE log of the ISK changing hands, correct? With isk changing hands for nothing these accounts are left high and dry if they overextended themselves. While the axiom don't fly what you can't afford to lose holds true should the transitive property take effect in the character bazzar or the recruiting channel: don't spend ISK you can't afford not to have for x amount of days while CCP investigates in totality? I'm guessing the persons thought they could play immediately off the back to earn back some chunk of what they just spent... lesson learned the hard way.
I was considering purchasing a character myself glad I've been forewarned in the forums and feel sorry for those that don't read these stories here... |

Wait so someone gets scammed on the char bazaar and they have to wait while GM's f*ck around seeing if they are not just a scammer but a hacker and a RMTer? Sorry but that makes no ******* sense, it matters not to the guy who got scammed whether hes a hacker as well or not. |

I do have to say i do think the GMs have no clue how this effects the player. Its a massive massive issue and inconvienience for the person being scammed. One has no character one has no isk, both pretty f*cked. Meanwhile its just sit and wait and wait and wait. CCP seriously need to step up their customer service, its pretty damn poor. But we say this for years and nothing changes, so you shouldnt expect it now. I really dont understand why CCP just have a handful of people doing this stuff, its basically that customer support is not a priority. |

This could be avoided if I was allowed to secure character transfers 
But really, the best way imo would be CCP impementing a feature (in account management perhaps?) where;
Seller specify price and who the ISK should be released to (on same account) - press Confirm Buyer has amount of ISK in the wallet of the character he logs on account management with, review the price and character being sold - press Confirm
ISK is withdrawn and sent to seller's character. character is placed in the transfer state to buyers account.
No way of either party to scam the other that way since nothing will happen until buyer confirm and gets his isk withdrawn.

Yeah the smart thing to do would be for the GMs to immediately give characters and massive amounts of ISK to anyone who makes a noise on the forum without investigating until they know the whole story, and worry about consequences later. Yep, that's definitely the optimum course of action here. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
